Graphophone Litigation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-There is said to
be big law suit threatened between
DIR. Bell and Thomas A. Edison over the
phonograph, alias the grapnophone. Mr..
Edison made the phonOgraph "talk
back" several years ago, but never pur-
sued the invention further than to ex-
hibit it as toy. DR.. Bell has put it to
practical use and called it the graphic
phone. 1t aims to abolish stenographers
and typewriters, for by simply talking
to the machine it records on prepared
paper whatever it is desired to commu-
nicate to another, and this record being
mailed to the proper person, can be
placed in another graphOphone and the
communication can be heard in the voice
of the sender. The rights of the orig
inal invention and of the electrician
who improved it are involved in the
issue shortly to be joined.

Strange Water Supply.

GALENA. ILL.,. Dec. 9.-The sudden
appearance of water in many wells in
Southern Wisconsin that have been
perfectly dry since the drought of last
summer has caused 10 little wonder
among the people, whose wells are filled
almost to the top. Streams run in abun-
dance from side hills and from springs
that have long been dry, and the creeks
and small rivers, whose beds have been
dry for months, are gradually rising,
and bid fair to become formidable
streams. The phenomenon occurred
during a night, and is similar to that re-
ported from SangamOn county, this
state. and at MattOOn and vicinity.

says the line of road will extend from st.
Paul, with Duluth connection, to the
gulf of Mexico via DeS MOineS and Kan
Sas City. A glance at the map will show
that Waseca is almost on an air line
from Galveston to the Gulf of Mexico
via the cities mentioned to st. Paul and
the head of Lake Superior. The natural
line of this road is through Waseca, and
it is reasonable to suppose that the first
division of the road will be located here
if proper effort is put forth by the citi-
Zens. This gives Waseca a fair prospect
of two new and competing lines of road
in addition to the two roads already
doing business here.

Gresham and the United States circuit

against Herman Baker II Co, of New
York, has been denied, and it is prob
able that the case will be taken to the

This important case has been pending
for over ten years. Baker Il Co. are the

Shortly after the close of the late civil
war Gen. Sturm was connected with
this firm in large shipment of arms to
the Mexican government. The ship in
which the arms were conveyed was lost
Baker IL Co. collected the whole amount
of the insurance. and have steadily re-
fused to pay Gen. Sturm his share of the

The news quickly spread about town

at the result, but at the very quick time
in which it was arrived at. The very
short time made it practically impossi-
bic for any deliberation by the jury, and
it is evident that the men went to their
room fully determined on their course.
But two ballots were taken, the first
standing eleven to one for acQuittal. and
the next twelve for acquittal.

DIR. Parker's Last Lecture.

NEW YORK, Dee. 9.-Rev. DR.. Joseph
II. Parker, of the City temple, London,
delivered a lecture to-day, his last in
this country, in Chickering hall to a
large audience. His subject was ''Glad-
stone" The audience was principally
made up of clergymen who had been
specially invited by Maj. Pond from
cities and towns within easy reach of
New York. There was a large number
of cleTgymen of this city and Brooklyn
present. DIR. Parker's lecture consisted
more of an eulOgy upon the great En-
gliShman than review of his career.
He was frequently applauded. His
summary of Mr.. Gladstone's personality
was that everywhere in England he is
hailed as the peoples William. 1t is
not in his power to say one fattering
word. Everything is characterized by
his conscientiOusnesS. This is the man
for whose long life we pray: this is the
man for whom we thank God he moves
with comparative slOwnesS. but with a
sureness that none can turn aside.
